This shouldn’t be important.Įven though they’re individual, I like to rotate them as a group, de-selecting the newly aligned letter and rotating the remaining group. This will make Ink/Stitch stop recognizing them as a Lettering object now they’re just stitch objects. The Ink/Stitch lettering will need to be ungrouped into individual letters. Once the Inkscape text is how the stitching should go, I find it easier to put it on a lower layer and lock that layer so I don’t keep selecting the wrong letters. There are a lot of Inkscape tutorials on getting texts onto the curve correctly, so I won’t recap them here. Sometimes the text will be argumentative - it’ll go backwards around the inside of the circle or what-have-you. Now after selecting the Inkscape version and the curve, Text > Put on Path. Because my kerning is off, don’t go by the length of the words, but rather by the individual letter size. Resize the Inkscape version (in black) until it matches the Ink/Stitch version. NickAinley is available in TrueType, and while it’s not exactly the same font (I just hand-drew approximately the same shapes) it’s close enough for this use. Ink/Stitch doesn’t use system fonts (TrueType et al.), but you can use them indirectly, because Inkscape can do text-to-path. A frequent use of embroidery fonts is in around the edges of a patch, but Ink/Stitch doesn’t have a text-to-path function (yet…) What’s to be done?
